Your teen goes to the pool for a fun day out. A week later they have a little summer flu. Then they can’t stand up. Within days they are paralyzed, on a breathing machine. A decade later you are changing their diapers while they sit in bed on a ventilator.
That’s polio folks..
Today I went to pick up my wife’s prescription at the pharmacy.
Every month it’s $188.00.
Been that way for a few years. Went up from $164.00.
TODAY:
$42.00.
I was like “Holy shit”.
Pharmacist said “That’s the new price”.
It may not seem like much to some but it helps us!

Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
My son came out as gay recently, I told him that it is all OK (of course) and that I always knew. Truth is I didn't have a fucking clue. I thought the other one was gay, and he's now had three kids with three women. I'm the owner of the world's least accurate Gaydar.
Everyone thinks the whole nepo baby thing is about their parents literally lining them up with a job, but it's about knowing you can take risks and really go for it because your family can help you out financially if it all goes wrong. It's about even feeling like you can try.
I really, really, *really* need the Television Academy to fix the category criteria before next year’s #Emmys because ‘The Bear’ sweeping comedy over shows like ‘Abbott Elementary’ is actually infuriating. All those actors and actual comedies deserve better.
My daughter asked me this morning what games I used to play on my tablet with when I was little.
I told her my favourite thing to do was speaking into the fan to make me sound like a robot.
“horror movies this year have been so weird surrounding birth!!” hmm i wonder what major historical event could’ve happened rather recently that would inspire artists to put birthing something evil without a choice to be reflected in art
Today at my library job:
*5th grade girl*: “I just finished reading Little Women and I loved it! Do you have any other books like it?!?”
*Me*: “have you read *Anne of Green Gables*?”
*Her*: “no”
*Me*: “girl, I am about to change your life”
